Capcom confirmed new ports for Nintendo’s next handheld-console hybrid during a Nintendo Direct: Onimusha: Way of the Sword and an expanded edition of Dragon’s Dogma 2 titled Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 this fall.
Both announcements mark a continued push by Capcom to bring recent and legacy properties to Nintendo’s evolving hardware lineup.
Background and release dates
Capcom announced Onimusha: Way of the Sword for Nintendo Switch 2 with a release date of September 25, 2026.
Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is scheduled to follow on October 9, 2026.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 originally released on PC and consoles in 2024; Dark Arisen is presented as an expanded version of that sequel for Switch 2.
Capcom shared the details during the Nintendo Direct presentation and accompanied each announcement with a dedicated trailer.
Single-player note from the Switch 2 trailer
The Switch 2 trailer for Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen explicitly lists the port as single-player only.
In journalistic terms: the promotional trailer indicates that the Switch 2 edition will exclude cooperative multiplayer features present in other versions, and Capcom has not yet provided further clarification on multiplayer support for this port.
Technical and platform context
Trailers for the Switch 2 ports focused on core content and release timing rather than deep technical breakdowns.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 has faced performance variability on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S since its 2024 launch; Capcom’s presentation did not offer specific technical details on how the Switch 2 versions will be optimized.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword represents a continuation of Capcom’s effort to revive legacy franchises for modern platforms and follows other recent Onimusha media activity, including a Netflix Onimusha anime set to debut on November 2.
What’s next
Capcom has provided release dates and trailers but has left several questions open, including whether Dark Arisen will receive parity updates with other platforms and the technical approach for Switch 2.
Players and industry observers should expect further updates from Capcom on storefront listings such as the Nintendo eShop and potential developer statements ahead of the September and October release windows.
